1. What is Amazon Page Count Calculation?

The Amazon Page Count Calculator estimates the number of pages in a book based on word count and average words per page. This helps authors and publishers understand how their manuscript will translate to physical book pages.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• Word Count — Total number of words in your manuscript
• Words Per Page — Average words per page (typically 250-350 for Amazon formats)

Explanation: The calculation divides your total word count by the average number of words that fit on a printed page.

3. Importance of Page Count Estimation

Details: Knowing your estimated page count helps with pricing, printing costs, and setting reader expectations. Amazon uses page count to determine KDP royalties for page reads.
